My business partner just brought me his high country 7mm mag for scope mounting this morning.
These are very nice rifles, I may be biased as a Savage fan, but lately what they are coming up with in their higher offerings is a very refined product.
Been lot's of complaints of the high country being heavy,
As someone who shoots a 13lbs rifle offhand in the kneeling position, the 10lbs scope high country feels light enough for me!
Next week we're taking it out for an accuracy test, got him to buy an MDT scope rail, ARC M10 xtra low 30mm rings, and bushnell elite tactical LRTS 3-12x44 with bronze finish, and it's a near perfect match to the savage cerakote!
A 5-25x56 is definitely not a bush gun scope, ringing gongs will be perfect, did you weight your finished product with everything installed?
